Ice baths….. why?

[Mayday]

Is this proof of a Joe Rogan’s ability to sway public opinion?

Elite Olympic athletes aren’t doing them. Logic says it makes no sense. Evidence shows it’s detrimental to recovery. Yet I get shilled about them by family members…… who repeat everything Joe Rohan says as gospel.

I’m told about the mental clarity…. Ok, wake up, lie face down and then I’ll give you hand slaps real hard all over your body for 60 seconds….

I started back cycling training (only 6hrs/wk) and had a mate talk such BS about recovery (he is a Joe Rohan Jesus follower).

[webstar]

I mean it’s nothing new football players have been doing them since the 80s.  We use to fill up those massive buckets  with ice and water in college after practise . It’s just got popular within mainstream CrossFit losers. That’s all it is.

Before I even heard of Rogan, I did one.

It really did give an energy boost.

Subsequently, when I played a baseball tourney in Fla this march, I took a 4 min ice bath each day, and it just felt great.

However, Rogan does not say to use for recovery.  He says he does his first thing in the morning, pre workout to wake up and get ready.  I know recent studies have said post workout it could inhibit hypertrophy.

Either way, if I was going to buy either an ice bath or sauna, I'd likely choose sauna.

[Pet shop boys]

is ok for "fun" I guess


WooSSHHHHHH

[Lartinos]

I think there is an argument against ice baths and it doesn’t seem to have any effect on slowing aging.

Is it natural to regularly go in ice or to say go in a cool lake?

Ya, exactly…

Now if you are dealing some kind of specific inflammatory condition does it probably make sense then probably.

[Humble Narcissist]

I fucking hate cold water on me.

Good point.

Ice is great for injuries and swelling because it slows blood flow. But that’s not what you want for exercise recovery, you want blood flowing into muscles to aid recovery.

Many have ice baths quoting the awake feeling…. Did any of them quit caffeine?  Nope. You want to feel awake before a workout, have your wife slap your back hard 5 times

Joe smashes caffeine…….

Would you suck some big black dicks while inside the sweaty sauna?

I could Dick shelve them while you do so

But I only give Dick shelves and if some tried that on my ass id beat em to a pulp

[tatoo]

ive done ice baths quite a bit over the years... i like them best when its hot out.... a cold shower works well too... you feel great when its over and start to warm back up

You sound possessed.

[Necrosis]

They may improve recovery cardio wise, they inhibit hypertrophy but only when done close. There are a plethora of other benefits, namely increasing cold shock proteins, increasing brown fat, increasing endorphins via dynorphin, vastly elevating dopamine and norepinephrine amongst other things.

Cheesed "possessed" was a tinned cheese we ate back in the day in army field rations.
That´s what we called it but it was officially called Cheese processed.
loved it with a bit of jam on a cracker Ro

Cold water exposure undoubtedly improves recovery and everything, after a swim in the ocean I feel amazing, peak feeling of wellbeing and connection.

You got something on your mind bro?

[Rambone]

It makes for a great conversation starter when CrossFit, keto or a being vegan falls flat at the gravy water tap cooler
